@DFISHERSDSU is amazing! My fav quote of the day: “Human beings don’t learn words. They learn concepts.” @ClassroomWonder
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Foster by Claire Keegan is a poignant novella w/ beautiful dialogue that evokes strong emotions and resonates long after despite its brevity of 92 pages. Claire's prose is masterful, and reading her words was, in a way, the cathartic experience I didn't know I needed.
Word of the day is ‘blutterbunged’ (19th-century English dialect): confounded, bemused, or totally overcome by surprise.
💫Looking forward to another incredible @FlaReads conference with @DFISHERSDSU @natwexler @SoniaCabell @ZoiPhilippakos @drmollyness @DrHarperwrites

Writing matters. Writing-reading connections matter for students to be learners. Literacy is not one or the other. Do not leave writing behind
This can be accomplished ❤️💥I’ve worked in high and low SES. The majority of Ks in the high SES pop usually came into school with these skills. From DIBELS and other school-wide assessments.

Excellent vocab building article @natwexler From presenting & working w/ teachers discussion is the hardest “….used it in class discussion, they’re more likely to understand it in texts they read independently.” forbes.com/sites/nataliew…
🎉Building knowledge need not—and should not—wait until students possess some level of foundational reading skills.

To summarize some of the vast research on reading instruction & intervention, the brilliant @burnsmk1 thought of meta-analyzing studies from meta-analyses. Effects sizes below. W/@KellyBCartwrig1, in special issue edited by @kymyona_burk & @janhasbrouck psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-44…
Fluency building is best carried out with narrative texts, right? Nope! Appears to be as effective with informational texts or with a mix of both text types.
Every story deserves the chance to be heard! This #WorldReadAloudDay, join me and @litworldsays to celebrate diverse stories from all around the globe!
